[TriLUG] open ports on Uverse 2wire gateway

[Craig Cook]

>First, getting your own hardware firewall (possibly just a small 
consumer router) between the modem and the LAN would actually mitigate 
most of the practical security concerns.

That is one valid option.  Another would be get a firewall between the modem and it's internet connection.  Put that firewall into "transparent bridging" mode.  Only allow the ports needed to talk to your modem.
